AI-assisted, sourcedEphesians 6:1-4Children and fathers
About Ephesians 6Paul tells children to "obey your parents in the Lord," fathers to "provoke not your children to wrath," servants to obey their masters "as unto Christ," and masters to do the same, "knowing that your Master also is in heaven." "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord," he writes: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil," for "we wrestle not against flesh and blood," and he names truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation and "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." He asks for prayer that he may speak boldly as "an ambassador in bonds" and sends Tychicus to tell them his news.
